Serpentbone Blade Notes & Tips

• Weapon Skill: Double Slash.
• This weapon cannot be infused with Ashes of War.
• Can't be enchanted with Magic nor boosted by Consumables.
• Serpentbone Blade can be upgraded by using Smithing Stones.
• Causes Deadly Poison Buildup: (66). Referred to as 'lethal' in the weapon's description.
• At 80 Dex, this weapon has an AR of 597 (294+303)
• This weapon has a unique R2 that consists of a double slash, which is shared with Sword of Night.
  
  • Charging the attack causes your character to take a large step forward before delivering the double strike, making it a useful tool to close distance.
  • Landing both hits of the R2 count as 1 stack for any "successive attacks" item.
  • The best setup to take advantage of the multi hit R2 is: Millicent's Prosthesis + Rotten Winged Sword Insignia (or the regular version if you don't plan to go into ng+ or having it dropped by another player) and then Thorny Cracked Tear for your Flask of Wondrous Physick.
  • Kindred of Rot's Exultation and Mushroom Crown can also be used to take advantage of its natural Poison Buildup.
  • Poisoned Hand was introduced in SotE DLC which can provide an addition 7.5% damage buff if Poison is inflicted while it's equipped. It also works in the off hand and even when another weapon is 2 handed. The buff stacks with the Kindred of Rot's Exultation and Mushroom Crown.
• Sell Value: 200
• Patch 1.07 decreases the poise buildup for dual-wielded weapons, however, the poise damage when you two-handing Serpentbone Blade increased. Which affects the fighting style of builds like Serpent Samurai.
• NOTE: As of Patch 1.08, Katanas poise damage has been reduced only on PVP.
• NOTE: As of Patch 1.09, the scaling values of this weapon were changed. Please refer to the Upgrades Table of this weapon below.
• NOTE: Patch 1.13 Increased poise damage of dual wield attacks of all Katanas (in PVP)
• NOTE: As of Patch 1.14, R2s in general have had their attack speeds noticeably increased. This significantly buffed the Serpentbone Blade's DPS on its tap R2.
